Below is the history of me learning here how to correctly post here and use an android box that I am seeking to erase;
I posted my first post some time ago and was told my tv box was not allowed to receive info from here so, it has been sitting on the shelf since then. I was told that the box should not have had any "add-ons" in it...HOW THE HELL WAS I TO KNOW SINCE I AM NEW TO THIS!?
So, earlier yesterday, I asked a question regarding that unused box (I referred to it as a "Kodi box" for brevity) as to how to back up the box in it's entirety before "erasing(?) it and so I don't brick it or screw it up beyond repair.
I was directed to 1 or 2 programs and am still digesting the info of those products (remember, I don''t know squat about android anything). One response seemed to not like the idea of me backing up the entire box and only seem to prefer me to back up Kodi by itself but, relented and gave me a suggested program to do a full image back up.
Then, I get another response from a mod or admin(?) that referred to my very first ever post I (remember, I don''t know squat about android anything) made regarding this or any "loaded" box and said (as if having a panic attack); "Is this the same"fully loaded" box you asked about before? If so then it's unsupported here.Please provide a debug log (wiki) to prove it's clean before we continue here."
Further down that post, I received a replay that said; "First, there is NO such thing as a "Kodi box". (OF WHICH I AM AWARE BUT, ONLY CALLED IT THAT FOR BREVITY!)
Kodi does not make or endorse any boxes,
I AM AWARE OF THAT ALSO.
what you have is a Android device that happens to run Kodi,
I AM AWARE OF THAT ALSO.
most likely one that has Banned add-ons (wiki) preinstalled.
WE WENT THROUGH THAT BEFORE AND I WAS ADVISED AND AS I STATED, UNIT HAS BEEN SITTING ON THE SHELF SINCE THEN AND I WAS ATTEMPTING TO BACK IT UP BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SEE INFO ON ERASING. SEEMS THAT THIS FORUM IS FOR THAT PURPOSE UNLESS I AM WRONG.
Second, you have already admitted to having a "loaded" box, which you will get NO support here for other than wiping that box so that you have a clean Kodi install.
SEE ABOVE STATEMENTS!
Third, this is not a general Android forum, so asking how to make a system backup is beyond the scope of Kodi and should be asked somewhere else that deals with general Android questions.
WHAT PART OF I AM NEW IS BEING MISUNDERSTOOD!? I POSTED IN THE INCORRECT SECTION! WHAT, YOU NEVER SAW ANYONE POST IN THE INCORRECT SECTION? THERE ARE MANY EXAMPLES HERE.
This thread is now closed.
YES, BY THE TIME I GOT BACK TO STRAIGHTEN YOU OUT ON THIS, YOU LOCKED THE THREAD. I GUESS THAT IS HOW "THOSE IN PERCEIVED POWER" WIN THEIR ARGUMENTS/DISCUSSIONS - SO SAD. I WAS NOT GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND ON MY INITIAL QUESTION TO SEEK ASSISTANCE. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE ADMIN/MOD BY PM AND RECEIVED A MESSAGE THAT I DID NOT HAVE PERMISSION OR WAS NOT ALLOWED.
If you wish to get help wiping your preinstalled Kodi build and installing a clean install of Kodi then you are welcome to start a new thread asking for help doing so. WHAT'S THE SENSE NOW? - YOU WHO LOCKED THE THREAD WILL ALWAYS IN THE FUTURE BELIEVE THAT ANY QUESTION I WILL ASK WILL BE ABOUT THIS BOX WHICH I HAD HOPED TO STRAIGHTEN OUT! DO I THINK THIS THREAD WILL BE ALTERED, MODIFIED, LOCKED, DISAPPEAR ALTOGETHER, AND I GET BANNED FOR THE TRUTH?---YEP.
So, i will ask what and where are the procedures to erase box?
I am trying to download the Kodi update the eclipse version today but now I keep going to Kodi website and picking the window's update for my laptop I love my kodi all the time even with the bugs I understand but I am always able to do the updates until today it keeps saying something like not able to read or write the file after it asks u if you want to install plus it says installer on the windows sign is unknown usually I think it says Kodi right? You have to excuse my ignorance I am not the tech person in the house but usually I can update things on my own without asking the kids or hubby is kodi down today so now cause I started the krypton version I have isn't working I hope kodi is alright and you guys keep thriving I think you guys do a great job!!!!!!!!!!!!
